Frequently asked questions about the MainWP MCP Server
Why is the API returning a 404 error?
You must enable 'Pretty Permalinks' in your WordPress Dashboard (Settings > Permalinks). The REST API will not function with the 'Plain' setting.
How do I find my API Token?
In your MainWP Dashboard, navigate to Settings > REST API and create a new API Key with 'Write' permissions. Your token is encrypted at rest and injected securely at runtime.
Can I update plugins across all sites?
Yes, the upgrade_site_resource tool can target specific resources across the entire network by providing the necessary parameters in the JSON body.
